DePuy Hip Revision Surgery, more information | Toledo, Ohio personal injury attorney

The Charles E. Boyk Law Offices, LLC would like to provide you with more information on the DePuy ASR Hip replacement surgery.

Depuy ASR recalls patients may require a painful revision surgery to remove and replace the defective hip implant. DePuy estimates approximately 10,000 patients may need revision surgery; however we believe that this underestimates the number hip revision surgeries that will be necessary.

The DePuy ASR revisions are necessary because the device is defectively designed and manufactured so that high levels of metal ions are released from the Depuy ASR hip. This metal ion release damages tissue, causes pseudotumours, and results in osteolysis requiring hip revision surgery to remove and replace the device. This may happen shortly after the DePuy ASR hip replacement is implanted into the patient or it may take years to occur.
